In my earlier article, I waxed lyrical (not really) about the cheap alternative earphone, Ear Budeez. While looking a bit like Rolando, the above is indeed, not a game. The new ME products are a collaboration between Soundcat, Audiovox and Jensen. The Me earphones are inexpensive and boast many models which take a fun approach to marketing. And, at ~10$, the price certainly is right.

The news made the front page of NAVER, a large and influential Korean news site and has been spreading all over the country in various technology circles. What does TMA say to new earphones? “Bring ’em on!” is what we says!

Some of you may have never heard of Jays, Westone or even Sennheiser prior to our headphone reviews, so when I mention Jensen, Audiovox and Soundcat, you may be scratching your head. Well, the three have teamed up and created Ear Budeez, an upgrade earphone which is likely one of the least expensive on the market. Even in Canada, they can be found for less than 20$ – a nearly impossible feat – abroad, they are marketed starting at ~8$ US.
